Man, I've been living in the city too long
Everything goin' on been goin' on wrong
The way I've been feelin', honey, nobody knows
Need me some red dirt down between my toes
Walkin' that Alabama sunshine
Down where the Tennessee River flows
Lord, don't it make me wanna throw off my clothes
And get some red dirt down between my toes
No matter where I wander
Wherever I may roam
Even way over yonder
It's gonna call me home
Bring me some fried green tomatoes
Fixed by somebody who knows
Bring me some biscuits and some red-eyed gravy
Give me some red dirt down between my toes
I can hear it callin' Whenever the night wind blows
And when a star is fallin' I know where it goes
I like real cream in my coffee
Real butter on my bread
I want real music on my radio
And some real good old lovin' in my bed
That's what I'm talkin' about
Bring me some fried green tomatoes Fixed by somebody who knows
Bring me some biscuits and some red-eyed gravy Give me some red dirt down between my toes
All I want, honey, is just some red dirt down between my toes
And maybe a bowl of grits
